Hiding Tattoos for Beauty Pageants
July 14th, 2010
Author: ShellyYou decide to enter a Beauty Pageant and you find out from the Pageant Director that the Tattoo you got last summer may hurt your chances to win a crown.
This can be a problem especially in the swim wear competition where more of you body is exposed. Many judges will take off points for tattoos because they are a distraction from your natural beauty.
What do you do?
There is a product called Dermablend. It comes in three different shades. Find a color closest to your skin color and apply with a sponge over the tattoo. Try two applications to really cover the image of the tattoo.
Then take a loose powder that matches your skin tone to seal it. This should conceal the tattoo for the swimsuit competition of the Beauty Pageant.
.
You can find this product at cosmetic counters in department stores as well as on the internet.
See YOU on the Runway.

I have used Dermablend with little success. Although it is a GREAT product for covering irregular skin tones, it doesn't hold up well under the rigors of stage lighting. There are SEVERAL professional products by MAC as well as Ben Nye that are manufactured specifically for tattoo cover. Try those instead.

I have used Dermablend with great success. I am heavily tattooed and this product covered the tattoos on my arms completely! It didn’t run or smudge even in bad weather. I preformed in the Georgia Dome with my college marching band and the photographs from these events show no tattoos and I even looked tattoo-less on the mega screens! I highly recommend Dermablend.
